About this collection
You do not need to be a Buddhist or have prior experience to join our sessions. Whether you are attending a guided puja at our Domlur center or participating online, we provide the prayer texts and simple guidance to help you feel comfortable from the moment you join us.
Our center in Domlur serves as a home for those seeking peace, wisdom, and a like-minded community. This featured collection highlights the variety of ways you can engage with our teachings. We host regular Buddhist philosophy courses, guided meditations, and traditional pujas, all designed to make ancient wisdom relevant to your daily life.
We believe that the Dharma is for everyone. For those new to the practice, we offer introductory talks that break down complex concepts into manageable, everyday applications. If you prefer a ritual-based approach, our deity pujas, such as the Medicine Buddha or Tara practice, offer a space to cultivate gratitude and positive energy. We observe all major Buddhist calendar events with community gatherings, which often include shared meals and teachings.
The center is fully equipped for your comfort, with an air-conditioned hall and seating options that include traditional cushions or chairs for back support. For those who cannot visit us in person, we maintain a hybrid approach with Zoom sessions for almost all our activities. We are a donation-supported community, and all our ceremonies are offered as a gift. We simply ask that you arrive with an open mind. If you are curious about setting up a home altar or participating in sutra recitations, our senior students and resident teachers are always happy to guide you.
